Revealing transformation. My first impression was that this wonderfully portrays "almost."

Surprisingly clear reflection. I'm not a pinhole fan but this one is very good.

The Film Noir preset looks pretty good. I'd swear I stood in that same spot about 10 years ago.

I like this version better. The backdrop really makes this stand out.

The bokeh dots are more fun in the b/w. Great focus you achieved here....

I also prefer the monochrome version overall, but I prefer the cropping of the color version. The new leaves are the clear focus of the image. In the monochrome version there is a dark triangle in the background that (to me) is strong enough to complete with it. In the color version, the triangle has been weakened by cropping off one of its edges. The remaining sides echo the shapes of the focal branch.

Both images are very nice.
